Dissemination activities and the practical impact of media and 
journalism research have become increasingly essential categories for 
evaluating scientific work. However, current megatrends such as the 
impact of AI public communication or the challenges posed by fake news 
also highlight the importance of constant mutual exchange between the 
two fields: When researchers have long tried to attract the working 
practitioners’ interest in their work, they are increasingly seen as 
attractive partners to understand current problems and develop 
innovative solutions. The pre-conference proposes to showcase subject 
areas of increased cooperation, qualified media criticism, innovative 
projects, and examples of successfully built “bridges.”  A common thread 
is the European Journalism Observatory: The platform celebrates its 20th 
year of bridging journalism practice, research, and European borders – 
it is currently publishing in 13 languages, making current research or 
practical insights available to an interested public.

The pre-conference will give special consideration to a group of “living 
links'' between academia and journalism practice that is often 
overlooked: Students of journalism and communication often carry their 
insights from academic training into the newsrooms when they start their 
journalistic career – others bring valuable experience from practical 
work to create an academic career. Early-career communication experts 
can be useful translators and ambassadors for the “other side”. he 
pre-conference will include a specific student and early-career 
professional perspective through cooperation with the Forum for European 
Journalism Students.

COSTS: The pre-conference is free of charge
